Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

SevenForums has quite many categories, and my issue probably could have been placed in another subforum as well. Sorry if this wasn't the right one.

I'm experiencing a strange problem, where on certain programs, I can see whatever there is behind them. I've mainly had this with Chrome, it could also have happened with regular windows, not sure of that (kind of stuff that happens while you're working w/o paying attention to special details at that time). The behind content pops in in parts - an icon on the desktop (and it's barrier surrounding it), part of a background programs ...

For example, I can sometimes see Foobar2000's (audio playback software) current playing song's like, or the visualizations running at the top - in the middle of an internet website. Funny isn't it ?

I cannot interact with those popping parts though (those 'behind' the active window).

Anyone experienced this problem as well ? I'd really like to hear suggestions as to how to solve it... It's cool actually, but could be quite bothersome when you're running something critical.

Thanks, Imperfect1. When solving my issue requires changes in the registry (hacks or whatever) to be done, I prefer to leave it this way. I just haven't go the strength to go through critical problems in case these occur.

Aero Peek is disabled (grey, not checked) for this matter. Do you think changing this setting back and forth might actually help ?

Performance & Maintenance

Always Use this program to open this kind of fileI was editing a .cfg file for half life 2 and used the "open with" and click "Always use this program" and checked it, and used Notepad to open it.
